ye jo tartib se bana hua main

sirf aazar uThane se kahan banta hai

TuTi mez aur jali kitaben rah jaengi

raKHt-e-gurez gam se aage ki baat hai

mera aur phulon ka rishta TuT gaya

thoDi chandi thoDa gara lagta hai

chehre par KHush-haali le kar aata hun

ghamon ki bhiD mein rasta bana ke chalta hun

do umron ki rui dhun kar aaya hun

phul kitaben le ja tanha rahne de

na-jaane kaun tere kaKH-o-ku mein aaega

hamara aaina be-kar ho gaya to phir!

apna apna dukh batlana hota hai

bagh ek din ka hai so raat nahin aane ki

kafil-e-saat-e-sayyar rakkha hota hai
